I know this post should probably be posted in prop making threads, but today I want to share something special with you. I know that for many of us, Indiana Jones and the Emperor's Tomb was the game of our childhood and for me it was this game that gave me interest for Indy.
Indy in ET is wearing different style of gear than in movies and Infernal machine game. The bag in Emperor's tomb is more simple and smaller than MKVII. It might be based on some real bag, so if anyone know exact real life model please let me know.
Because I could not found screen accurate real life example of this bag I made it myself. Photos are resized to 640x480 so some loss in picture quality might be there.
Sizing was tricky since this is smaller than MKVII. I found correct sizing by doing comparisons of bag to Indy's body proportions in game and to comparisons with real machete and M1917 gun size (holster in game is about same height if not an inch longer than bag).
The canvas is very light mustard and on screen it gives right color as in game bag. The difference is that in game bag is dirty with green grass stains visible, while mine was not yet used on the field.
Interior is based on MKVII interior but MKVII has pocket on back side of bag divided by seam, which ET bag does not.
I used big hip flask with screw (as in the game instead of cork) and dressed it as P37 canteen. It came out pretty well and it can even really be carried in a jacket/suit (if pockets are made big enough).
Regards
